Total Cost of Ownership Guide for PV Manufacturing: SEMI and VDMA compiled the Guide to support the PV industry in calculation of cost of ownership to better understand all of the data points when making purchasing discussions. The Guide provides a base level between equipment supplier and end users that will allow them to adjust parameters when making cost of ownership calculations.

International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV)

The International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV), a SEMI initiative, is created and regularly updated by the globally leading manufacturers of crystalline silicon (c-Si) products (wafer, cell, module). The objective of the ITPRV is to ensure constant cost reduction and efficiency increase through technology advancements in the performance of c-Si products. Learn more at www.itrpv.net

SEMI International Standards for PV Manufacturing

SEMI is the recognized leader in
manufacturing standards—standards created by the industry, for the
industry, to make PV a reality throughout the world. Industry supports the standards development
process because it provides a forum for free exchange of technical
expertise and is protected by anti-trust regulations. Companies that
participate actively in standards work have a head start on their
competitors in adapting to market demands and new technologies. In
addition, a recent study has shown that research risks and development
costs are reduced for companies contributing to the standardization
process.
